Over 160 listeners phoned and texted in to “puff” the track expressing that they were blown away after hearing the single on air for the first time on WIILROCK.

TRP take out Album of the year in UK press

02 / 12 / 2013

'The Revolution Is Never Coming' voted as Album of the Year for 2013 by SupaJam.

"Lady Gaga got the headlines for trying to mix art and pop, dressing the part and producing stylised songs, and on Artpop she largely failed to convince. Luckily the rock world has The Red Paintings, who are theatric and fully capable of achieving the grand gestures they wanted. It’s a dense album and can take a few listens, but then it obsesses you."

TRP set to announce first headline tour for 2014

On Dec 9 TRP will announce the Wasps headline UK and European tour. Showcasing a new stage show hitting Europe from Feb 7 till March 1. Tickets on sale Dec 9.
